It's probably one of those things Italian cuisine stole from the French, because every ragu or bolognese starts with a "soffritto" of carrots, onion and celery, and often some cured pork as well, like pancetta.
I can buy that. I've used celery, onion, and carrots in a bolognese before. Just didn't really think about it since I used it for like every soup I make and it was just familiar lol.
And garlic is the pope.
Protestantism blown out yet again.
I head these two sayings all the time growing up lol.

Celery, onion, and carrot is French mirepoix. It might also have roots in Italian but not that I'm aware of.
garlic, scallions, and ginger is the chinese trinity
I'm lazy and poor so I use an onion instead of scallions.
thats the aromatic base for a ton of indian cooking, so all good
